The Handbook of Health System Resilience presents cutting-edge research from an international range of experts on crisis decision-making throughout healthcare. Chapter authors analyse the value of using 'resilience' as a theoretical framework, before delving into the durability of health systems in a variety of global case studies, including economic crises across Europe, conflicts in the Middle East, pandemics across the globe, and the climate crisis. Ultimately, the Handbook emphasises the importance of dealing with poor decision-making and austerity, the need to protect vulnerable groups, and the significance of capacity-building to deal with future crises.
This dynamic Handbook is a vital resource for students and scholars of public policy, health, and economics. It will also prove invaluable to health system analysts, as well as those within governments who are responsible for public health and crisis decision-making.
Industry Reviews
'COVID, conflict, climate change...the need for resilient health systems in an era of permacrisis should be obvious yet, once again, we are failing to learn lessons. Thomas and Fleming have assembled a wealth of experience from a stellar collection of authors. Now their advice must be acted upon.' -- Martin McKee CBE, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK
